Marina Locke - Yoga Teacher in Rangiora |
Marina Locke, RMT, RYT(500), CST, Doula
My journey towards healing, massage, martial arts, yoga and eastern traditions began in my teens and continues to take me around the world. The first encounter with Yogic traditions was when I read "Autobiography of a Yogi" at age 15, introduced to me by a high school psychology teacher who also taught me meditation. It changed my life and introduced me to conscious evolution. An older brother was a karate Sensei, and he first introduced me to Eastern disciplines and self directed meditation (Zazen). Beginning in my early twenties, through a series of serendipitous events, I had the privilege of learning from a meditation master and spiritual teacher. It wasn't until I attended my first yoga teacher training when I was 32 that I realized I that meditation was part of Yoga. I have studied many teacher trainings since, including the IYTA (Australia) 2 year Yoga teacher course and the IYTA (Australia) 18 month Prenatal and Postnatal Yoga teacher training.
My massage career spans 30 years, beginning in Canada where I maintain professional membership for teaching and travel purposes. In 1994 I co-opened a clinic in the Peter Lougheed Hospital in Calgary on the maternity floor. It was the first massage clinic of it's kind in Canada, committed to working with pregnant and postnatal women. Soon after I attended births as a Doula, taught Infant Massage and traveled internationally teaching the Mother (and Baby) Wellness professional development courses.
I have attended the following Professional development training:
